It is reported that the SAC troops arrested and killed four people in Myingyan Township, Mandalay Region, and dumped their bodies on the roadside.
One female and three male villagers of Layywarson village in Myingyan Township were shot and killed by the military and Pyu Saw Htee (militias of SAC) after they were arrested at around 10:30 p.m. on February 28th and the bodies were found abandoned this morning, according to an activist of Myingyan.
Myingyan Community Action Committee announced that the military and Pyu Saw Htee arrived at Layywarson village yesterday at 10:00 pm on five motorbikes and arrested Ko Soe Thu Aung, Ko Phoe Aye, Ko Maung Maung, and Ma Khin Yu Mon from Layywarson village and left at 10:30 pm with eight motorbikes.
“About five days ago, the Pyu leader of Leyywarson village was shot by the Natogyi PDFs. It is believed that they killed ordinary people who had nothing to do with it in retaliation,” said an activist in Myingyan town.
